Secretary of the Association, 21, Bedford Square, London, W.C.I PUBLISHED FOR THE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION BY GEORGE PHILIP & SON, LTD., LONDON, E.C.4. 1948 THIS notable essay by Dr. Erich Eyck, the most distinguished Bismarckian scholar of our day, was written on the invitation of BISMARCK the Historical Association to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Bismarck's death. Dr. Eyck, a German Liberal of the school AFTER FIFTY YEARS of Ludwig Bamberger, found his way to England in the early years of the Nazi government, and his massive three-volume Life of Bismarck, published in Switzerland between 1941 and 1944, ' THAT world history has to be re-written from time to time, was written mainly in this country. It will no doubt remain the about that there remains no doubt in our day. This necessity standard biography of Bismarck for many years to come, but, as exists, not because much about what has passed has been dis- publishing difficulties make the early appearance of an English covered since, but because new points of view arise, because the translation unlikely, this short reassessment of Bismarck's career contemporary of an advanced age is led into a position from which and summary of Dr. Eyck's conclusions is particularly welcome. the past can be surveyed and assessed anew.'

  • Political Developments in Europe During the 19Th Century
    Political Developments in Europe During the 19th Century TOPICS COVERED: -The Congress of Vienna -European nationalism -Changes to the Ottoman, Austrian, and Russian empires -The Unification of Italy -The Unification of Germany The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) • After Napoleon’s defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, European heads of government were looking to establish long-lasting peace and stability on the continent. • The goal was collective security and stability for all of Europe. • A series of meetings known as the Congress of Vienna were called to set up policies to achieve this goal. This went on for 8 months. The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) • Most of the decisions were made among representatives of the five “great powers”- Russia, Prussia, Austria, Great Britain, and France. • By far the most influential representative was the foreign minister of Austria, Klemens von Metternich. • Metternich distrusted the democratic ideals of the French Revolution and had 3 primary goals: 1. Prevent future French aggression by surrounding France with strong countries. 2. Restore a balance of power so that no country would be a threat to others. 3. Restore Europe’s traditional royal families to the thrones they held before Napoleon’s conquests. The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) Results of the Congress of Vienna: • France’s neighboring countries were strengthened (ex: 39 German states were loosely joined to create the German Confederation; the former Austrian Netherlands and Dutch Netherlands were united to form the Kingdom of the Netherlands) • Ruling families of France, Spain, and several states in Italy and Central Europe regained their thrones (it was believed this would stabilize relations among European nations) The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) Although France had been the aggressor under Napoleon, it was not severely punished at the Congress of Vienna.

  • Chapter 29 Revolutions and National States in the Atlantic World
    Chapter 29 Revolutions and National States in the Atlantic World THE CHAPTER IN PERSPECTIVE Revolutions shook the Atlantic world in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, bringing unprecedented political and social changes. The American Revolution brought independence from Great Britain and the creation of a new republic. Shortly thereafter a revolution broke out that radically transformed French society and shook Europe to its core. Central and South America, including the Caribbean, would undergo similar transformations. These revolutions spread Enlightenment ideals and promoted the consolidation of national states. OVERVIEW Popular Sovereignty and Political Upheaval Obviously, much of the intellectual foundation for this revolutionary age relates back directly to Enlightenment thinkers. Enlightenment ideals such as popular sovereignty, individual freedom, political and legal equality, and the social contract formed the core of the philosophy of these revolutionary thinkers. The American Revolution proved a natural, although at the time surprising, expression of these concepts. The overwhelming victory in the Seven Years’ War pushed the British ahead in the race for world hegemony, but it also increased tension with their North American colonies. Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence mirrored the influence of Enlightenment thinkers such as Locke as well as the growing colonial dissatisfaction with the nature of their constitutional relationship to England. The colonial victory in the resulting war—due to a combination of American grit, British indecisiveness, and French aid—stood as an example for other thinkers dreaming of a new world. The French were inspired by the American example but also pushed to carry out change on a much more profound and radical level.

It is a feeling that develops among people who may share a common language, history, set of traditions, or goal. Nationalism also causes people to join together to choose their own form of government, without outside interference. INDEPENDENCE, SOVEREIGNTY, AUTONOMY, SELF-DETERMINATION, and SELF-RULE The Global Regents Exam often uses the terms INDEPENDENCE, SOVEREIGNTY, AUTONOMY, SELF-DETERMINATION, and SELF-RULE. All of these terms refer to the right of the people of a certain nation to decide how they want to be governed without outside interference from any other country. When the term SELF-DETERMINATION is used, it is almost always used in the context of WOODROW WILSONʼS 14 POINTS that provided the foundation for the PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE held at conclusion of World War I.
